| Omschrijving | The market that allocates workers to jobs and coordinates employment decisions is the labour market. The labour market is unique; non-pecuniary factors, such as work environment, risk of injury, personalities of managers, perceptions of fair treatment, and flexibility of work hours, loom larger in employment transactions than they do in markets for commodities. Furthermore, a host of institutions and pieces of legislation that influence the employment relationship do not exist in other markets. Labour economics is the study of the workings and outcomes of the labour market. The main subjects in this course are labour supply and demand, wages and productivity, inequalities and discrimination, collective bargaining, macroeconomic and regional economic issues of unemployment, international migration and labour market policy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
